The sense of unease in Tony Stark exploded. In the world of ordinary people, Tony Stark, the super-capitalist, was undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid, a figure who could chat and laugh even with the US President.
But facing these superhumans, he was just a weakling without the power to fight back.
If Wonder Woman were to turn against him, even with his entire top-tier security team, they would be defeated as easily as cutting vegetables.
Moreover, according to what he knew, including what Lin Feng had mentioned, there were several superhumans who might be at the level of superheroes. The superhero from decades ago, Captain America, the Hulk just mentioned, Abomination, and this Wonder Woman.
In Lin Feng's words, this world was a dangerous one. It was likely that more so-called superheroes would appear in the future, and if the interference phenomenon between the DC Universe and their Marvel Universe wasn't an isolated incident, it could mean that more DC Universe superheroes would enter their universe. At that time, the whole world would probably be in chaos.
No, he needed a way to deal with these people.
"Jarvis, create a new character file. File name: Wonder Woman!" Tony Stark said. "Put it in the same category as Lin Feng's file!"
"Alright, sir, it's all set up!" Jarvis said.
"Use big data to analyze Wonder Woman's possible powers, her speed limits. And since she's appearing so openly to the world, she probably won't just show up once. So, find a way to monitor news of her next appearances and constantly update her relevant database!" Tony Stark said. "For now, her alignment is tentatively set as Lawful Good, but we also need to figure out how to research weapons to counter her. Also, set up a research file for me: the study of new power firearms, ones that can target those kinds of superhumans, not just ordinary people!"
With ordinary light weapons, humanity hasn't had any major updates in decades, because they're more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but they're clearly insufficient against superhumans.
Although Tony Stark believed that Wonder Woman was probably a good person, at least not a bad guy, his sense of insecurity still made him want to produce a weapon that could deal with Wonder Woman.
And this is precisely the fundamental reason why Tony Stark will be able to develop the Hulkbuster Armor, the Anti-Thor Armor, and other armors targeted at his own teammates in the future. He simply can't completely trust these obvious non-humans.
From a human standpoint, these are all unstable factors, and he must have a way to counter them at critical moments.
"Sir, according to Lin Feng's words, you will become the so-called Iron Man in the future, and you might also be one of these superheroes, so you don't need to worry too much!" Jarvis sensed Tony Stark's anxiety and then comforted him.
"That's precisely why I'm worried. I may have to fight these people in the future!" Tony Stark said. "And Iron Man... Could it be that, in the future, I'll have the ability to control iron, like, say, refining iron ore?"
Tony Stark couldn't quite imagine what the capabilities of his Iron Man suit would look like, so he could only imagine a few things.
Lin Feng didn't know that a passage from his diary had completely ignited Tony Stark's inner anxiety, because he himself was quite anxious right now.
In this unfamiliar and dangerous world, knowing the plot was his only advantage besides the diary. Now, the existence of Wonder Woman was like a club slamming into his head, making him dizzy.
This meant that the future he thought he could control and predict had become uncontrollable.
"So, what kind of world is this? Pure Marvel? Pure DC? Or a combination? Is it the comic version? The movie version? The anime version? Or the TV series version?" Lin Feng's mind was also filled with many questions.
He just hoped that it was only the movie universe he was familiar with from his previous life. Although the movie universe was outrageous and dangerous, it wasn't as outrageous as the bizarre comic book world.
For example, in the comic world, there were countless superheroes who turned into zombies and ate their way through the entire universe. In such a dark universe, even gods would be eaten by these zombie superheroes. He, a normal person, would probably have his head bitten off at the very beginning of the crisis.
Then again, there were also some outrageous plots like Batman going dark, Superman going dark, or the world being destroyed. The further into the story, the more outrageous it got, often destroying the entire multiverse.
It even forced Marvel and DC to introduce the concept of parallel universes to fill in the holes, indicating that some outrageous plots took place in parallel universes.
However, this matter wasn't up to Lin Feng. He could only pray that it wouldn't be some ridiculous, dark parallel universe.
The whole situation with Wonder Woman, Diana, really shook him up. Lin Feng lost all desire to continue writing in his diary. He simply stopped writing for the day, watching the progress bar fill completely.
He silently initiated a lottery draw in his mind.
Suddenly, a virtual wheel appeared before him, visible only to himself.
The wheel spun rapidly and then, after a moment, finally came to a stop. Following the direction of the pointer, an option appeared in front of Lin Feng.
"Super Soldier Serum!"
Lin Feng hadn't expected his first item to be the legendary Super Soldier Serum, the very stuff Captain America injected.
Theoretically, the recipe for this was lost. But Lin Feng knew Howard Stark had later rediscovered it, only to die at the hands of Winter Soldier Bucky. Hydra then obtained those new versions of the Super Soldier Serum.
Captain America, Steve Rogers, transformed from a bullied weakling into a global superhero thanks to the Super Soldier Serum.
"Ding! This lottery is complete. Would the host like to immediately receive and inject the Super Soldier Serum?" A cold voice suddenly echoed in Lin Feng's mind.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's first thought was that the system was active. After his transmigration, the system had been practically dormant, only appearing occasionally and otherwise maintaining a low profile.
